Abstract:
An image forming apparatus that permits alteration of print data during execution of a print job for the print data stored in an external apparatus. Upon generation of an interruption job during execution of the print job for the print data, an MFP suspends the print job. If free space in a memory is less than the capacity required for execution of the interruption job, the MFP erases the print data in the memory and carries out the interruption job. When the interruption job is completed, the MFP transmits to another MFP a request for transmission of copy data of the print data and restarts the print job for the copy data of the print data transmitted from the other MFP in response to the transmission request.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for searching for a desired content from a storage unit storing a plurality of contents to which a plurality of attributes is set classifies stored contents by each of the attributes. The information processing apparatus then counts the number of registered contents classified by each of the attributes and determines an attribute as a criterion for classifying contents.
Abstract:
A control method for controlling a communication apparatus used for transmitting a file with efficiency and reliability according to a time required for the conversion processing when a file as a transmission object is converted into transmission data, and the control method includes converting an input file into transmission data, transmitting the transmission data obtained by the conversion processing, measuring a time required for the conversion processing, and controlling the communication apparatus based on the measured time so that, if a file whose time required for the conversion processing is greater than a predetermined value is to be transmitted, communication with the destination is started and the transmission data is transmitted after the conversion processing is executed, and if a file whose time required for the conversion processing is not greater than the predetermined value is to be transmitted, the conversion processing is executed after the communication with the destination is started, and the transmission data obtained by the conversion processing is transmitted.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for processing documents of multiple kinds generated by applications of multiple kinds includes a data processing unit configured to process the documents of multiple kinds; a determining unit configured to execute a validity period management program in response to a request to the data processing unit to process one document among the documents of multiple kinds to determine whether the request is within a validity period associated with a content item in the document; and a switching unit configured to switch the content item that is referred to and that is to be processed by the data processing unit between when the determining unit determines that the content is not within the validity period and when the determining unit determines that the content is within the validity period.
